As if that's not reason enough to get long this iconic maker of children's clothing Scaramucci also likes the stock for a few other reasons.

"It trades at 10.7 times earnings for 2010 and 10.1 for 2011," he says. "They've got a core rate of return of 20% on the equity. And in the hedge fund community, widely followed billionaire investor Steve Cohen of SAC Capital owns 5.4% of the firm."
